Uniforms did not exist back then because soldiers wore armour. The equipment of Romans soldiers was: A helmet (galea or cassis) One of three types of armour: the lorica hamata (mail armour), the lorica squamata (scale armour) or the lorica segmentata (armour with overlapping iron plates) Arm protectors (manica) made of segmented armour. Greaves to guard the legs made of metal sheets A shield (the scutum) Heavily soled shoes/sandals (caliga). Their other clothes were: A tunic A sword belt (balteus ) Trousers in colder regions (bracchae) Underpants (subligaria) A skirt of leather or fabric strips to protect the upper legs (pteruges) An apron: decorated metal plates in front of the groin which protected against blows which might cut the belt. A scarf to protect neck from helmet (focale) One of two types of cloak, the sagum or the paenula Their wepaons were a short sword (the gladius), two javelins (pila) 6 darts (pumbata) and a dagger (pugio). later, a log sword (spatha) was also introduced.
Roman soldiers wore: A helmet (galea or cassis) Greaves to guard the legs One of three types of torsa armour: the lorica hamata (mail armour), the lorica squamata (scale armour) or the lorica segmentata (an armour with overlapping iron plates) Arm protectors (manicae) Heavily soled shoes/sandals (caliga). A tunic A sword belt (balteus) Trousers in colder regions (bracchae) Underpants (subligaria) Groin straps overlapping strips of linen or leather that protect the lower part of the body, sometimes a far down as the knees (pteruges) An apron: decorated metal plates in front of the groin which protected against blows which might cut the belt. A scarf to protect neck from helmet (focale) One of two types of cloak, the sagum or the paenula In cold climates Roman soldiers wore a hooded paenula. This was a cloak which was like a poncho and normally did not have a hood. It came in two parts sown at the front, so that it could be thrown back to leave the arms relatively free. It was made of Gausapa wool imbued with lanolin, an oil which made it water-resistant (paenula gausapina). It could also be made of leather (paenula scortea) which was suited for colder weather. Underneath, they wore a long sleeved woollen tunic. From the second century AD the paenula was also used by travelling civilians for protection against cold and rain and could come with or without a hood. It came to be used in the city of Rome for the same purpose. The sumptuary law of 382 made it proper everyday dress of senators, instead of the sagum.

It seems that the crest of ordinary soldiers as placed from the head's front to the back and that of centurions was across.The lorica hamata was an iron (sometimes bronze) mail armour. The lorica squamata was a scale armour made from small metal scales sewn to a fabric backing. The lorica segmentata which was made of broad iron strips (girth hoops) fastened to internal leather straps were arranged horizontally, overlapping downwards, and surrounding the torso in two halves. The strips were joined by leather laces and fastened at the front and back with brass hooks. The shoulders and upper body and shoulders had additional strips (shoulder guards) and breast- and back-plates. Its earliest finds date to the 9th century BC and it was common by the 2nd century AD. It gave greater protection than the Lorica hamata and its weight only half of the latter, but was also more difficult to produce and repair.Both the lorica hamata and the lorica segmentata were mid-thigh length with shoulder doublings.
All Roman soldiers wore a uniform and armour. This was to protect them against being wounded in battle. A legionary wore a linen undershirt and a tunic made of wool.Helmet- On the front of the helmet , about 3" above the rim is a protrusion protecting the forehead. This was designed to prevent sword blows from penetrating the helmet and causing head injuries.The rear of the helmet had a guard that protected the neck from sword blows.Body Armour- The body armour made from overlapping iron strips. These metal strips were fastened with hooks and laces at the front and hinged at the back. These were held together by vertical leather strips on the inside. This enable the soldier to be well protected and also be flexible enough to allow him to bend. The armour was strengthened by front and back plates below the neck. The shoulders were protected by a pair of curved pieces.
Roman soldiers wore the following: Armour : A helmet (galea or cassis) Greaves to guard the legs made of metal sheets One of three types of armour: the lorica hamata (mail armour), the lorica squamata (scale armour) or the lorica segmentata (an armour with overlapping iron plates) Arm protectors (manica) made of segmented armour. Heavily soled shoes/sandals (caliga). Other clothes : A tunic A sword belt (balteus ) Trousers in colder regions (bracchae) Underpants (subligaria) A skirt of leather or fabric strips to protect the upper legs (pteruges) An apron: decorated metal plates in front of the groin which protected against blows which might cut the belt. A scarf to protect neck from helmet (focale) One of two types of cloak, the sagum or the paenula The helmets had a crest holder and a crest which was made of plumes or horse hair. It seems that the crest of ordinary soldiers as placed facing from the head's front to the back and that of centurions was across. The lorica hamata, which were standard issue for both the legionaries and the auxiliaries and was an iron (sometimes bronze) mail armour: the lorica squamata a scale armour made from small metal scales sewn to a fabric backing; the lorica segmentata which was made of broad iron strips (girth hoops) fastened to internal leather straps were arranged horizontally, overlapping downwards, and surrounding the torso in two halves. The strips were joined by leather laces and fastened at the front and back with brass hooks. The shoulders and upper body and shoulders had additional strips (shoulder guards) and breast- and back-plates. Its earliest finds date to the 9th century BC and it was common by the 2nd century AD. It gave greater protection than the Lorica hamata and its weight only half of the latter, but was also more difficult to produce and repair. Both the lorica hamae and the lorica segmentata were mid-thigh length with the shoulder doublings or cape. The Roman soldiers used the gladio, a short sword which was light and easy to handle in close combat. In the late Roman Empire a longer sword (the spatha) was introduced. The soldiers also carried a dagger (pugio) and two pila (plural of pilum). This was a javelin 2 metre (7 ft 7 in) long with an iron shaft 7 mm (0.28 in) in diameter and a 60 cm (24 in) long pyramidal head. The shank was not hardened and with its softness it bent on impact, so that when it stuck to the enemy's shield, it made it unusable as trying to pull it out would waste too much time. Its bending also made it unusable for the enemy.
The Roman soldiers had three basic types of clothing. The Fatigue dress was a simple work tunic. The Parade dress was the formal uniform which consisted of the military tunic, the military belt and the "sagum" or military cloak. The Battle dress consisted of the military tunic and belt, body armor either of chain mail or segmented, helmet and military boot. His sword was worn on the right side, his knife on the left. He carried his shield and javelins. Many soldiers also added a neck scarf to prevent the armor from rubbing and chaffing the neck.The Roman soldiers had three basic types of clothing.
